They came into my work this week.
They are a nice size and very light.
As in two peolpe carry it around rather then use a trolley light.
They should be good fun. But the plastic is noticible. And may put some off.
Problem when stopping a project is being motivated to start again.
Engine is now out. I suspect the front piston is seized as it holds the wd40 alot longer. But unfortunately its going to take longer to examine. Thanks to the previous owner. I can't get the head off from the outside as its...
Weight.... easier to throw around.
Same reason trials bikes are two stroke, and ktm still make 2t. Weight is a massive advantage in controlling a bike. Short gearing helps reduce the lack of bottom end
As for speed. They are usually at the top of a gear when they hit a ramp (consistent speed...
Really?
Last time I saw freestyle here in aus it was all 2 strokes. They still have best power to weight.
However the motocross racers are mostly 4 stroke.
Nope fmx are still on 250cc 2 strokes.
At least seadoo have an option to fill in the gap up the front with a glove box. Looks like a pwc version of the scion xb... they are offering graphics kits
Great idea.
Nice to see them going for a smaller lighter aproach.
Especially as all there other craft at the moment are boats with handlebars.
Hopefully it has more success then the 3-d (another great idea. Shame it didn't take off)
Project has been delayed for a week. As my cousin decided to get married and family is staying over.
So while im waiting. Im drowning the pistons in wd40. In the hope that its just seized from sitting. If it is still seized after the week. Off the head will come.
Engine is disconected.
Unfortunately it looks like I have 2 issues. The engine is seized. However the prop is binding in one place. So it only spins part way around. Along with some scraping sounds.
So the next step is to get the engine out of the hull. This will require more muscle...
Hmm.
Ran that technique past the mechanics. And they were definitely against putting any force on the screw driver. However it is a way to check the piston by seeing if the screwdriver moves when turning the crank. But not recommended as it can jam if the sparkplug is on an angle
anyway...
As an interim post.
I bought the ski for $900
She is certainly not pretty. As you can see very rough. But from what my untrained sees. She actually is pretty straight. With not much needed to bring her up to scratch
Where I live the few I have seen advertised in okay condition are between...
Thank-you harbor
so today after work while there was still light,
i rigged up a rough flush kit (will have to order online, only able to get metric hose fittings at local hardware store - not 3/8)
changed over the spark plugs and put in the battery after a top up...
the battery wasn't fully...
G'day,
i have just purchased an 1993 650sx.
i am completely clueless when it comes to jet ski's having never ridden one (been on the back).
though i grew up around the water, and kneeboarded/wakeborded a few years ago
picked it up for what i believe is a fair price. but it needs lots of elbow...
